Scene: the checkout line at a local Chinese restaurant.

Hispanic Customer: *hands over cash* sheih-shieh.

Chinese Cashier: *beams delightedly* gracias!

AWW!

We will overcome that tragic scene at the Tower of Babel yet!

Also: thank you so much for the beautiful card, and the delicious-sounding sweet potato recipe! I am going to make it for my family next week.

omg, those sweet potatoes are SO GOOD. I tried it for the first time at Thanksgiving, and we couldn't get enough of them. I hope you like them too!!

That's awesome - what a cool neighbourhood. =) I think next year one of my resolutions will be to learn how to say goodbye and thank you in the languages of a couple of my most regular customers...

Oh, that is a good idea! It's so thoughtful that I can't see how they'd fail to be thrilled. :D
